Lakshmana is extremely loyal to Rama, though they are only half brothers
everyone keeps offering to kill themselves
the passage reminds me of jesus somewhat being tossed into the wilderness and being tempted to sin by satan.
mutilation of women that are not completely pure of heart.
Sita being stolen is another example of Gods acting like humans, though the gods seem to be prone to reacting to the extremes of their emotions, there is no middle ground they are either totally in love or they hate and want death. This could be the stories way of saying that it is better to be level headed and and do what your mind says to do rather than what your heart tells you. Another example of this is when Ramas father makes him leave.
